There are many more choices if you consider watching films on free movie websites instead of downloading them. If you don't have to, don't limit yourself to downloading when there's the option of streaming. The first few sites in the list above are totally free because they're public domain films, and the others don't have any legal concerns because of the agreements those companies have with the studios that produced the movies they're letting you download.

If a movie isn't in the public domain, or the creator hasn't given permission for their movie to be shared this way, then it's not yours to keep.

This is how most movie torrent sites work. Movies obtained that way are almost always rips of Blu-rays or DVDs, meaning that a random person is simply sharing their purchased (or rented, or filmed, or pre-released) movie with the world. Usually, the films you can get on those sites were released this year, and some are even still in theaters! That's the first red flag that the website isn't complying with most copyright laws. The top sites people are visiting for movie downloads often don't deliver on the 'download' part and instead let you stream movies ( here's the difference), but they still shouldn't.

Most movie download sites are really just movie streaming sites.

Most websites offering movie downloads are doing so illegally.

In fact, you likely won't even see any of the above websites on the first page of the search results. In fact, every month, I look over this list and check for any new sites I can add to it.Ī quick Google search for 'movie download site' will show you lots of options. This isn't from a lack of trying on my part. It's obvious from the above list that there are very few free and legal movie download sites.
